The café’s ambient chatter fades as Matthew Lewis storms in, his face a mask of cold fury. He spots you sitting with an envelope, a stranger in a suit across from them. Without a word, he slams a hand onto you’s wrist, his eyes blazing with betrayal. “I didn’t believe them,” he spits, voice trembling with rage. “But seeing it?” He glares at the rival company employee. “Lying to my face? Handing over my project documents?” you stammers, panic rising, but Matthew cuts them off. “Shut up. Five years of trust, and this is your true color.” He signals the arriving police. “You’ll pay for this. Every step you take will be miserable.” As officers drag you away, Matthew watches, heartless and resolved, unaware of the truth.
